Well, a few options depending on your budget and where you are staying.
When I arrive at the airport, I take a helicopter. The fare is about 95 - 100€ per passenger (115€ includes transfer to your hotel). Takes six minutes, with departures every 20 minutes. Telephone +377 92 050 050 or http://www.heliairmonaco.com/ This is a great way to enjoy the coast - absolutely beautiful.
A taxi takes about 30-45 Minutes. A taxi from the terminal to Monte Carlo, costs 80€ - 90€ for up to four passengers.
Another option is the Airport Express coach, from the terminal to Nice Railway Station. Cost about 6€. From Nice Railway Station, take the train to Monte Carlo (about 30 minutes) which will run about 5€. It can be a very scenic way to travel.
Yet another option is to take a taxi to Nice Railway Station and then the train. Monaco enjoys an excellent bus system and runs about 1€. Buses run about every ten minutes. Just let the driver know where you need to go.
Enjoy your trip!

The closest international airport to Monaco and Monte Carlo is Nice Airport in France some 30 minute drive South of the Principality. The airport is served by both domestic French flights and many international flights. The airport has two terminals and offers easy access to and from Monaco.

These little trains in the national Monegasque colors make daily journeys with commentary in English, Italian, German and French.
During the trip you will discover the Monaco Port, Monte-Carlo and its Palaces, the famous Casino and its gardens, before returning to the Old Town with its City Hall and finally the magnificent Prince’s Palace.
Departure point is in front of the Oceanographic Museum.

This is an experience of a lifetime!
I was told its the best way to get from Nice Airport to Monaco. Train is slow, but cheap. Car/taxi is slow and expensive.
You go to their desk in the main terminal, and then a minibus takes you to the helipad. 5 minutes later (its an hour by road) you land in Monte Carlo.
Its over the sea all the way, and you have the Alps to the north. Great views of Monaco as you come in. Utterly spectacular.
Did the same on the way back.
It was about £50/€75 single in those days.
You can book on line.

Walking around Monte Carlo you will see and hear cars of every type. The familiar sound of a Ferrari engine was all around us. Being from the US, we don't see many of those. In Monte Carlo, I thought everyone drove one.
Bottom line, if you are a car afficionado, you will definitely enjoy the sites.

Avenue Prince Pierre, Monte-Carlo
At this convenient station, trains arrive
and depart from Nice, Cannes, Antibes,
and Menton every thirty minutes.

The station is just a few minutes' walk from the Casino and the Rocher.
If you're carrying a lot of luggage, it's best to take a cab to your hotel, because
of the area's steep hills everywhere.

To get to the Principality of Monaco's capital (and the only city) - the fabulous Monte-Carlo - by boat or more likely by a yacht, especially your own one, you must be really, but really rich. What with all those yachts one sees in the port. Still, the views must be magnificent, probably the best ones you can get approaching Monaco. And at the very least rivaling the ones you get from above as the road (carrying you with it) climbs down into the city.
This tip is actually mid-getting there and mid-must see. I do not actually know why I put it in this section. I wanted to think how to recreate the views you could see from getting by boat. So if you need this particular tip not only as a practical thing, but as aesthetical, too, you might go to the furthest end of the pier and get the same effect free of charge.

This is Monte-Carlo SNCF Station. Its a beautiful architect and shines all over. You can come here from Nice and other nearby cities.

Monte Carlo can be very expensive. You can get there within hour from as far west as St Raphael, Nice is about 20 minutes away. We travelled from the small town of Le Dramont.
